Domaine Saint Georges d'Ibry - Cotes du Thongue
This domaine was a recommendation from one of the UK’s top sommeliers, who instantly put the whole range on his restaurant list - a huge hit with our customers!
The 39 hectares of Saint-Georges d'Ibry Estate vineyards are in the Cotes de Thongue and Pays d'Oc appellation areas, in the municipality of Abeilhan between Agde and Pezenas (Languedoc, Southern France). The domaine has been established since 1860; Michel Cros who manages the Estate is highly dynamic always seeking to improve quality. His love of the land, and passion for wine-making and traditional techniques, thanks to the highly suitable soil planted with a number of different grape varieties, have enabled him to create quality, natural wines.
"As members of the "FARRE" Network (Forum for Planned Agricultural Management Respecting the Environment) all the work we do is in compliance with a very strict charter. Our Estate was accredited by "VERITAS" in 2000 and is thus entitled to the TERRA VITIS label." — Michel Cros, Winemaker
Languedoc-Roussillon stretches along the Mediterranean between the west of the Rhône and Camargue to the Pyrénées mountains, and is one of the largest expanses of vine growing in the world. The climate is perfect and the history of wine making is long, but dramatic changes in technique over the last few years have reduced volume and, in so doing, improved the quality of the wine. The region produces mainly reds which have now lost their 'vin ordinaire' label.
The five best known appellations in the Languedoc include Coteaux du Languedoc, Corbières AOC, Faugères, Minervois AOC, and Saint-Chinian AOCs. The vast majority of Languedoc wines are produced by wine cooperatives which number more than 500. However, the appellation system in the region is undergoing considerable changes with both new appellations being created and existing ones changing. One recent change is that the Coteaux du Languedoc has changed name to Languedoc and been extended to include also the Roussillon.Within the larger Coteaux du Languedoc appellations are several sub-districts with distinct wine styles of their own. Some of these sub-districts have pending AOC applications to become appellations in their own right and some have been granted sub-appellations to the umbrella appellation Coteaux du Languedoc. These include the, Picpoul de Pinet, Terrasses du Larzac and Pic St.-Loup.
